from bh. Pranay Nanded – India, Maharashtra

Hare Krishna,
Please accept my humble obeisance’s unto your lotus feet Srila Gurudeva.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!
All glories to you!!!

Dear Gurudeva,

Krishna means all attractive and whoever gets in touch with Krishna, Krishna’s qualities start manifesting in him and the same Srila Gurudeva which we can see in you, with your qualities attracting everyone.
As it is stated in BG 10.9
mac-citta mad-gata-praṇa
bodhayantaḥ parasparam
kathayantas ca mam nityam
tuṣyanti ca ramanti ca

The thoughts of My pure devotee’s dwell in Me, their lives are fully devoted to My service, and they derive great satisfaction and bliss from always enlightening one another and conversing about Me.

As we read in diaries, we see how people from different regions of world are attracted towards you and like to hear from you, spend some moments with you.
Gurudeva, it is your love towards your disciple which attracted and allured me towards you. Every Spiritual master loves his disciple, but I saw something special in you. When we read diaries, we can see you always reflect on the part in which your disciples are serving, and we can see how they are ready to serve in whatever way it pleases you and that’s because of your unconditional love.

I was reading from volume -||| where one person came to you and wanted to talk with you but because you were absorbed in some other engagements you couldn’t give your time that moment but later you went in search of that person throughout the pandal, but you couldn’t find him then you shared your inner feelings in diary which showed your unlimited compassion.
You are always travelling to different parts of world to spread the message of lord Chaitanya.

As it is stated in SB 7.9.44 where Prahlad Maharaj says to lord Nrsihma dev
prāyeṇa deva munayaḥ sva-vimukti-kāmā
maunaṁ caranti vijane na parārtha-niṣṭhāḥ
naitān vihāya kṛpaṇān vimumukṣa eko
nānyaṁ tvad asya śaraṇaṁ bhramato ’nupaśye

My dear Lord Nṛsimhadeva, I see that there are many saintly persons indeed, but they are interested only in their own deliverance. Not caring for the big cities and towns, they go to the Himalayas or the forest to meditate with vows of silence [mauna-vrata]. They are not interested in one delivering others. As for me, however, I do not wish to be liberated alone, leaving aside all these poor fools and rascals. I know that without Kṛiṣhṇa consciousness, without taking shelter of Your lotus feet, cannot be happy. Therefore I wish to bring them back to shelter at Your lotus feet.
We can see how with your compassion you cultivated Krishna consciousness amongst them who were not even knowing who Krishna is and what does this consciousness is meant for and later we can see that how seriously those souls took Krishna consciousness seriously.

As it is stated in SB 5.13.22 where description of Jada Bharat’s meeting with king Rahugana comes in picture

na hy adbhutaṁ tvac-caraṇābja-reṇubhir
hatāṁhaso bhaktir adhokṣaje ’malā
mauhūrtikād yasya samāgamāc ca me
dustarka-mūlo ’pahato ’vivekaḥ

It is not at all wonderful that simply by being covered by the dust of your lotus feet, one immediately attains the platform of pure devotional service to Adhokṣaja, which is not available even to great demigods like Brahmā. By associating with you just for a moment, I am now freed from all argument, false prestige and lack of discrimination, which are the roots of entanglement in the material world. Now I am free from all these problems.

Your dedication towards following every instruction of our beloved Srila Prabhupada, he asked to preach bold and you Srila Gurudeva taking his instructions as life and soul, preaching all over the world very boldly crossing all the dangers in path.
We read about the preaching program in Russia where devotees were harassed but nothing could stop you. And when we read about the opposition by the Catholics in festival program it was very difficult to arrange all those festival programs but seeing your determination and hard struggle of my dear God brothers and God sisters Krishna himself got involved (as you state in Diary) and then there was nothing impossible.

A couple of months ago one of my devotee friends shared a video clip with me in which Amogh Lila Prabhuji was mentioning that whenever a disciple breaks regulative principles his guru suffers reactions of those. Please shower your mercy and give me strength O Srila Gurudeva that I never ever fall into the trap of maya or do something wrong which will displease and hurt you.

Please accept me as an insignificant particle of dust under your lotus feet and please shower your mercy that I could dedicate my life towards the mission of Prabhuapada and follow my authority and do whatever pleases you and ultimately the lord.

As we everyday sing “Yasya Prasadad Bhagvat Prasado”.

HH INDRADYUMNA SWAMI MAHARAJ KI JAY!!!
SRILA PRABHUPADA KI JAY!!!

Your Aspiring Servant,
Pranay
